How the knights are Breaking Up.


T. V. POwderly prints the following in The
Journal of United LABOR in reference to the asser-
lions in a number OF newspapers that the organi-
Zation OF the Knights OF Labor was breaking up:
We are breaking up as the ploughman breaks
up the soil for the sewing OF new seed; we are
breaking up all traditions; we are breaking up he
reditary rights and planting everywhere the seed OF
universal rights; We are breaking up the idea that
money makes the man and not moral worth; we
are breaking up the idea that might makes right:
we are breaking up the idea that legislation is
the Congress OF the United States must be run by
mili0nares for the benefit OF miiiionaires; we are
breaking up the idea that few men may hOlu
millions OF acres OF untitled land while
Otner men Starve for want OF one acre; we
are breaking up the practice Of putting the labor
starving 1t to death; we are breaking up the
practice OF importing ignorance bred OF mon
arches and dynamite in OrOer to depreciate in
tell1gent, skilled labor at home; we are breaking
up the practice OF employing little children in
factories. thus breeding race deformed, ignorant
and profigate; we are breaking up the idea that
man who works with his hand has need neither
OF education nor of ctvi1zing refinementS; we are
breaking up the idea that the accident OF sex puts
one-half OF the human race beyond the pale
up the practice OF paying woman one-third
the wages paid men simply because she Is
woman; we are breaking up the idea that man
may debauch an infant girl and shield himself
made; we are breaking up ignorance, 1ntemper-
ance, crime and oppression OF whatever character
and wherever found. Yes, the Knights OF Labor
are breaking up, and they Will continue their ap-
pointed work OF breaking up, until universal
rights shall prevail and while they may not bring
ton OF moral forces that are working for the eman-
clpat1On OF the race.

What Are Your Boys Reading,

burdette IN the Brooklyn Eagle.
No. on no; we are not going to pitch into the s.
cent blood and thunder novelette,; not right di-
rectly, at any rate. We were just looking over
story in the June number Of most excellent and
highly respectable juvenile magazine; good mag
azine, that doubtless views with alarm, as do all
the rest OF U.S. the poisonous literature OF the news

on a lonely siding. saw a runaway train OF cars,
started by the wind, sweep past him down the

q lightning express about due when anything OF
this kind happens. There is mo telegraph wire

fifteen are always quick thinkers; he runs his en-

away In the country, presumably, as It is quite
customary tor railway engineers to take all their
charge OF children. The runaway cars "are miles
away;" and he has "less than an hour" to catch
them; He caught the runaways, which were ny

enough to make man faint to read It; it was
just this: does the boy get anything better out of
such nonsense than he does out OF 'kid the Sleutn

Kissed and Stabbed.
CASPER BEAVER PLUNGES KNIFE INTO HIS WIFE AZ
THEIR LIPS MEET

Casper Beaver, plumber, went to his home on
the top floor of the tenement house 3O4 East 1Oeth
street, New York city, at O'Clock Thursday night
in an inebriated condition. After resting a mo-
ment he announced his intention Of going out for
more liquor. His wife Esther and his two children
dissuaded him from his purpose. A few moments
later he got up. went into the hall and called his
wife. She went to him, and he asked her to kiss
MIN. Sne threw her arms around his neck, and
while their lips were together he drove the long
Keen blade OF q knife into her throat The screams
OF the woman were heard by q policeman, who
rushed upstairs. The assassin meanwhile took
refuge In the cellar, where he hid behind some
barrels and covered himself with an old mat. The
woman seemed rapidly bleeding TO DEATH and
will not recover. The officer found Beaver in the
cellar under the mat. Beaver jumped to his feet
Drandishing the knife, but few sharp strokes OF
the club subdued him. He said that he had no
knowledge whatever OF what had happened.

At the National Educational Convention In
Chicago yesterday the report Of the CON-
mittee on resolutions was read and adopted.

tics; the extension Of the school year and the in
crease Of teachers wages in rural districts: the
adoption OF some plan Whereby merttorious teach.

gress the National Bureau Of Education as an
liberal support, and reafhrm the conventions con-
vict1on OF the urgent necessity OF temporary fed
eral aid In the education OF the tterate masses Of
the South. Following are the concluding resoiu-
lions: 1--WE express our profound interest in the
education or the Indians; heartily commend the
spirit OF lberality shown by Congress In the mat

and encouraging results already achieved. We
recommend to the several State legislatures the
aaoptlon OF laws hrst requiring instruction 70 be
gtene, with special reference to the Injurious
enects upon the human system OF alcohol and mar
c0tics; second, laws suppress1ng the publication
and sale Of impure literature; third, laws forbid
ding the sale OF tobacco to youth"
On motion OF MI. Mayo a committee of three was
appointed to communicate with the appropriate
committees in Congress concerning the resolution
OF the on the subject OF national aid to
education. Mr.. Mayo said that he had travelled in
every State in the South, and had strong cOnVic-
tion that unless national aid was speedily and
generously afforded to the Southern people in
their heroic EFFORTS TO grapple with this great
problem the wished for contamination must be de-
layed for another generation. The people OF the
south were doing as much as they were able to do,
and yet only three millions OF children were re.
ceiv1ng as much as four months education in the
year.
The following officers were elected: President,
field, OF Kansas; treasurer, Edwin c. Hewitt of H.
lnois. Among the vice presidents elected was Jno

The Russians have keenly felt the disadvantages
OF their isolated position on the Amur and the Pa
ci6c Coast, and they are now preparing to carry
into effect the much-discussed project for great
trans-Siberian route The council OF state, with
the cars approval, has ordered railroad surveys
to be made at once from Tomsk to Irkutsk, the
Amur River, and ViadivOstOck, and next spring,
while the extension 70 Tomsk is building. it is in
tended to begin grading and track laying east OF
TOmsk, on the way to the Pacific. The work will
be in charge OF Gen. AnnenkOn, who has made q
brilliant reputation as the builder of the Trans
Caspian railroad. Five years are expected to COM
plete the line, and when it is opened st. Peters
livestock, nearly 5000 miles away.
The idea OF Russian Pacific railroad has seemed
almost chimerical. 1t Is probable, however, that
the project would now be considerably advanced
had not years been wasted In disputes over the
conflicting claims OF rival towns. The route
which viii be followed through Western Siberia
has finally been selected, and there is no doubt
that the Russians fully expect to carry out the
great undertaking.
